Keep good creative records and know your rights

MyCreativeRights is a secure cloud-based online tool that combines two key services to help creative practitioners maximise the value and security of their work. Catalogue – document and manage records of creative works, contracts and associated documents, and Legal Service – access to extensive copyright knowledge and subsidised legal assistance.

Ensure your creative works are protected with our legal service.

Legal Service provides access to experienced legal advisors who specialise in the creative industries, providing you with reliable legal advice tailored to your specific needs. Whether it is a simple question about copyright, help with a licensing agreement, or advice on how to negotiate the terms of a legal contract – we’ve got you covered. Legal advice is provided by Creative Legal Services, a boutique legal agency focused on the creative sector.

To get you started, we’re offering FREE 15-minute legal consultations for a limited time. Legal consults are subsidised by the Manatū Taonga, Ministry for Culture and Heritage.
